I am not quite sure where to begin, but here it goes... Recently I joined several ferret groups through yahoo and was reading thru some of the ads when I came across one entitled "Dead ferret". Of course I was curious and clicked on it to read the message and I could not believe what this person said. I'm sure the rest of you will be as outraged by this as I am. This man should not have any animals in his care. In fact, he could probably go to jail for what he has already admitted to. Below I have copied and pasted his message, along with a link to the web site I found it on so you can verify it for yourselves. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/furryfaces/?yguid=117980117 >From: "Kevin" <auburn_in@y...> >Date: Fri Nov 29, 2002 1:34 am >Subject: Dead ferret > >I'm sorry to say that if I can't sell my ferret and cage.

After several people, including myself, wrote to this man and told him how wrong he is to treat an animal that way he mentioned that he lives in Indiana. So I thought I should pass this information on to other groups I've joined and to the FML in the hopes that someone out there might be able to rescue this ferret before it's too late. I hope that there is someone on the FML who lives in or near Indiana who would be willing to adopt the little guy. Would anyone be willing to drive there to save him? I would love to adopt him myself, but I live all the way in CA. and there is no way for me to get to him. :( I hope it's not too late already, because the guy posted two messages and seems pretty desperate to get rid of the ferret. ~Sheri~ [Posted in FML issue 3983]
